While I do not agree, in the wake of Covid-19 it is certainly the wiser choice. Let's face it, I've seen bartenders washing glasses, it was always the wiser choice.

Here's a Rochester Business Journal article on Silk O'Loughlin by Scott Pitoniak. Note my comment on the bottom outlining that the popular bar/restaurant on the river (which I patronize on a regular basis...might call me a regular) is actually named after his namesake nephew, not Silk the ump. Hope you can patronize the place when it opens, the owner lost most of 2017 and 2019 because of high waters, now this.? https://rbj.net/2020/04/15/recalling-rochesters-silk-oloughlin-beloved-character-victim-of-1918-pandemic/

1970, ski jumping event in Germany. Broke an ankle. Apparently he's a pretty good artist.

Hanging out afterwards and not adhering to social distancing guidelines was part of it, but I've heard that NJ and Pa residents were coming to NY just to golf which hastened the decision to close NY courses.

There's a bar with a deck overlooking the river next door to me. Been going there since I was 16...err, I mean 18. 63 now so that's 45 years. Saw the owner a couple weeks ago when I was out walking, he gave me the combination to the gate lock. Couple times a week I've been taking a bottle of wine out there and calling friends, talking for an hour or two about nonsense, watching the sun set. Gives me some sense of normalcy.

Don't have the patience to read through a 4 page thread, my apologies if this has already been posted, but your post reminds me of a joke I first heard back in the 80's. What did the Dead head say when he quit drugs? God this band sucks!

Male hooker is a Gigolo

The 20th century called, they want their pull carts back (been using a push cart since the turn of the century.) Speaking of the 20th century, a few years ago golf magazine had a tips through the years section. In the early 60's some guy wrote in saying his one iron would go about 240 yards, then fade 8-10 yards to the right, asked the author what he should do. The author said Turn pro!!

My fault. Rejoined a private club today, and my new driver was waiting at the door when I got home. https://www.wwnytv.com/2020/04/09/new-york-golf-courses-ordered-close/

Well, Paradise has already been linked, Clay Pigeons hasn't, guess that's what I'll go with Never realized Roger Ebert discovered him until today. Been listening to his music all day. RIP. https://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/The-312/October-2012/How-Roger-Ebert-Discovered-John-Prine/

Focusing strictly on the 90's, from 92-96 the Bills had 7 second round picks (3 in 94 because of compensatory picks.) Every one was a bust, Friggin' Lonnie was the best of the bunch. Parella did have a decent career for the San Diego but was a bust for the Bills. Bucky Brooks has had a decent career as an NFL analyst.

I stand corrected

RIP. Walmart is using Lean on Me in their latest add. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0av0vsoBf8M

I've been cutting my own hair for years.1/4 inch all around, usually do it twice a week. Own a condo. Guess what a lot of people in my building are doing for haircuts now? 1/4 inch all around. There is no haircut so bad that a week won't fix it.

In "The four falls of Buffalo," Kenneth Davis says it was the Apache helicopters flying over the stadium that blew the kick to the right. Marv Levy goes on to say the it was the first time he'd heard that one.

Too late, I judged you at latte

What do oranges have a lot of (often removed from juice?) What are two types of books?

Here's my attempt to add to the list, didn't see it in the OP ??

I was doing a co-op job in Austin, Texas at the time. Watched the game with someone in my apartment complex who was from Buffalo. 25th anniversary Buffalo Bills poster went up in my office the next morning. Co-workers were not amused. Most didn't bother watching as they already had the game marked down in the win column.

One of my all time favorites. Mentioned on the Joe Diffie thread that he's beaten cancer twice, not sure how much fight he has left for this.

At least there was no mention of wide right

Prine's a two time cancer survivor. Would really suck to survive that only to have COVID-19 get him. RIP Joe. Prayers to John.

?RIP Mike

It's Jerry Gallo that's dead
